These fantasies echo the series Natures Mortes – Réalités, in which the artist transforms waste washed up by the sea into sculptures with post-apocalyptic accents. This time, seashells are adorned with pearls and elements extracted from wedding crowns, once enclosed under glass globes — the same ones used in the Lungs of Oceans series. The artist assembles here two forms, one drawn by the hand of man, the other by nature, in a union which would try to signify their possible symbiosis, their fantasized cohabitation. Little treasures of barely a few centimeters, these hybrids become talismans.
